"The swarm needs to find another way to defeat the enemy!" Zhao Ganwu's voice was low and deep.
At this moment, Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, stepped forward.
"My lord, I have a plan that may defeat the enemy!"
"What plan!"
Su Bai's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.
"After a long siege, the Stormwind army must be exhausted. They must be just as eager as we are to end the war and achieve final victory. Therefore, we can feign weakness and take advantage of their eagerness to win to achieve final victory."
“You’re right. Perhaps we can deliberately suffer one or two defeats to lower the enemy’s guard.”
“Excellent!” Kerrigan replied, “I’ve already come up with the specific battle plan!”
She paused, then continued, "This plan is called the 'Feigned Escape Plan.' It involves pretending to be defeated and fleeing, deliberately retreating to lure the enemy into pursuit, thereby achieving the goal of annihilating the enemy."
"This plan is brilliant!"
Su Bai changed the subject: "I remember now, the strategy of feigning escape originated in the Three Kingdoms period."
“Yes.” Kerrigan nodded slightly. “At your recommendation, I read the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms and learned a lot about the principles and strategies of warfare from it.”
Su Bai looked around at everyone and began to arrange the specific battle plan.
"I've decided to adopt Kerrigan's feigned escape plan."
"Pretend to retreat, lure the enemy deep into our territory, then set up an ambush to surround and annihilate them."
"Ruoyun, when the Stormwind army attacked, you pretended to be outmatched, burned the camp, and retreated."
"Yes, ma'am!" An Ruoyun nodded emphatically.
Su Bai continued his instructions, “Dehaka and Abathur, each of you will lead 500,000 insect soldiers to lie in ambush in the rear. When the enemy arrives at your territory, let them in. Once half of their army has passed through, you will split up and attack, making it difficult for the enemy to defend both ends. You will surely achieve a great victory.”
"Yes, my lord!"
Dehaka and Abathur said in unison.
"Gan Wu, while the enemy is pursuing An Ruoyun, you can take advantage of the situation to launch an attack, cut off their retreat, and then raid their rear supply lines and other provisions," Su Bai said.
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Ganwu said in a deep voice.
Following that, Su Bai arranged the specific details of the operation.
We checked the operation multiple times to make sure there were no oversights.
After several rounds of confirmation, the final battle plan was finally finalized.
As the art of war says, "Attack unexpectedly, strike where the enemy is unprepared!"
"This time, we must press on and crush the Stormwind army in one fell swoop!"
"Does everyone have confidence?"
Su Bai was full of vigor, his eyes bright and piercing.
Full of fighting spirit, the men shouted in unison, "We will surely achieve a great victory over the enemy!"
...
...
When Stormwind's army attacked again, An Ruoyun deliberately created a weakness, leaving a gap in her camp's defenses.
Stormwind soldiers were able to pour in and charge into the camp.
So An Ruoyun pretended to be outmatched and set fire to the camp.
Leading its main Zerg swarm, it retreats to the rear, creating the illusion of a failed defense.
Upon receiving this intelligence, General Lothar was overjoyed, his delight evident in his expression.
The war had been going on for more than half a month without any progress, which made him quite anxious.
In addition, King Ryan kept urging him to defeat the enemy as soon as possible.
This made General Lothar extremely anxious.
Now that the army has finally made a breakthrough, how can we not be excited?
"It must have been the prolonged siege that demoralized the enemy and caused them to lose their will to fight, which allowed my troops to successfully break through!"
"Hard work pays off!"
"The dawn of victory is about to break!"
General Lothar did not hesitate and immediately ordered a pursuit.
Following the direction the insect swarm retreated, the Stormwind army launched a full-scale pursuit.
They entered the Zerg territory and were halfway through the pursuit.
Suddenly, swarms of insect soldiers appeared from both sides.
It was Dehaka and Abathur who led the raiding force.
Caught in a sudden ambush, the Stormwind army appeared somewhat flustered.
They never expected that the Zerg swarm, which had been retreating steadily, would actually set up an ambush here and launch a counterattack.
Caught off guard, there was no time to prepare.
Moreover, as they pursued, the Stormwind army's originally well-organized formation turned into a long, single-file line.
They were attacked.
The army was directly cut into several parts, unable to support each other.
Seeing this, General Lothar quickly dispatched central troops to support the Stormwind soldiers who were under attack at the front.
At this moment, Zhao Ganwu led his troops to attack.
He led his troops and charged into the rear of Stormwind's army.
They burned all the grain and supplies to the ground.
Seeing the raging flames behind them, the Stormwind soldiers were thrown into chaos.
"not good!"
"We've fallen for their trap!"
By the time General Lothar realized what was happening, his troops were already in complete chaos.
Front, left, right, and rear.
Battles are breaking out everywhere.
Only the central army still has two million fresh troops that have not yet been deployed to the battlefield.
"The supplies and provisions must not be lost!"
"Otherwise, our army will be in grave danger!"
General Losa looked anxious.
Another million central troops were dispatched to reinforce the rear.
At this point, he had only one million troops left.
"Boom!"
Just then.
Below the mountain ridge, a swarm of insects appeared, raising clouds of dust as it surged and rolled in like a tidal wave.
The ground trembled slightly as he stomped his feet.
"Enemy attack!"
General Lothar's expression darkened slightly as he raised his voice to command the entire army: "Establish defensive lines where you are and prepare to meet the enemy!"
Leading this Zerg swarm were naturally Su Bai and Kerrigan.
The total number is as high as two million.
"General Lothar's troops are in complete disarray, and he still has a million troops left!"
"This is a golden opportunity!"
"To catch the thief, first catch the king!"
"As long as we capture or kill the enemy commander!"
"Then, the Stormwind army will be leaderless and unable to fight!"
"Final victory will surely belong to us!"
Su Bai stood atop the Thunder Beast's head, his eyes flashing with a fierce, fiery gaze.
Kerrigan nodded slightly, her eyes snapping open, two piercing gazes flashing forth: "Victory is assured in this battle!"
Springtails, Hydralisks, Roach, Blastbugs, Destroyers, Xenomorphs, and Corruptors marched forward in a mighty force.
In an instant, the two sides were locked in battle.
The shouts of battle reached the sky.
General Lothar sat astride his white horse.
Turning the horse around, I gazed at Su Bai in the distance.
Their gazes pierced the battlefield, colliding in mid-air, with sparks flying faintly.
"Hmph!"
"Su Bai, you want to carry out a decapitation strike? Don't even think about it!"
"As the commander of the Stormwind army, I will never fear any challenge or crisis!"
"Today, you have delivered yourself to my doorstep, so I'll kill you! That way, I can return to the city sooner and report back to King Ryan!"
General Lothar, wielding his holy sword, spurred his horse forward and charged straight at Su Bai.
